[b][b][color= turquoise]03/01-[/b][/b][/color=turquoise][b][color=fuchsia]196.4[/b][/color=fuchsia]-(Trend Weight: [b] 196.4[/b])- My power was out until 8:00 am this morning so there was no sleep because I had no C-Pap machine. I tried but to no avail. Finally slept from 8:00 am until 11:00 am and I’m not in very good shape for the funeral this afternoon. My oldest DD will be attending with me. It is frigid cold but sunny, bright and beautiful otherwise. My friend Diane would have loved seeing the birds happily flitting around in play this morning. This was a tough round. Coming down on the scale 1.4 lbs overnight helped but I need to get on a losing streak now. I hope to make March a banner month. Please keep my friend Diane and her family in your thoughts and prayers today.

[b][b][color= darkturquoise]03/05-[/b][/b][/color= darkturquoise][b][color=black]195.6[/b][/color=black]-(Trend Weight:[b] 196.2[/b])- Yesterday was the best day I’ve had in Forever. Meals have been good but those snacks were so much better than they have been lately. I did try to slow down my eating but kept forgetting. I’ll keep working on that. I need to work harder on exercise and movement. I’m really trying to make a lot of changes that get me back in the game. My weight is being stubborn. It did not change one iota overnight after such a good day yesterday. However, “Good things come to those who wait”. I must remember that. I am down 2.2 lbs in March so there is some progress for which I am very grateful. However, my starting weight was much lower than where I’m at now and that is disappointing. I know I’ve had a lot of challenges this round, but I also know I can do better and I will!

It looks like I managed the spoiler but all my BBC Code colors are showing but in black & white. At some point I will have to remove all of that until it is bland and with no personality. I am in several challenges, all with their own form. It will take me awhile so I apologize for the inconvenience. Also, the ticker is not showing. The HTML for bold is not working but it does have a button to bold.

Test:

I was trying to see how to get my ticker in. I can't figure out if it can be done.

It looks like we can still wish each other a happy birthday.

I’ll just weigh in tom. 🙄 Things at work are crazy and there’s a lot going on in my life. I want to get back on track here. I made this commitment to myself and I’m going to finish this challenge! I know I’ll do better with the next one being outdoors! It’s been a long winter- but spring is just around the corner. “Chin up” as my mom used to say! 😉
